TIL Staney, however, who has executed
the feat of putting Africa together like a
puzzle as il never was put together before
has become a man something like 4S or so
years old, l should think. 1t is said here
that when he first went out he expected
to marry a rich, young and stylish woman
in New York. Before he returned, how
ever, she had taken n husband, and | see
her every now and then at the seaside
places with her husband, who is I'M atten-
tive man while her children have grown
up to be big and hearty some of them
are perhaps now manageable. If Stan
ley had remained around the newspaper
offices of New York getting silly orders TO
go here and there, these very orders in
n perhaps to break him up and de
stroy his self respect and continuity, we
should now be looking at a very ordinary
fragment or has been.
His feat of descending the Congo from
the sources of the Nile or ~thereabouts to
the Atlantic ocean marked his recognition
by a higher range of people. He told us
at the Lotos club that it was Edwin
Arnold, the poet, author of The Light of
Asia, y who prevailed OF Mr.. Levy, the
Hebrew who owns The London Telegraph,
to offer Stanley the task and the money.
Levy concluded he would undertake 1t il
Bennett would come in. He ~telegraphed
Bennett, who replied after hesitation that
he would help. So these two newspapers,
one in New York and one in London, sent
Stanley to do that work which was better
lone h any work has ever been done
in Africa by any other traveller. Man
kin owes TO the newspaper organization
its knowledge to-day of the route Of
the river Congo and the consequent at
tempts to make trade and to galvanize and
cwivilize Africa. But after that feat Mr..
Stanley was probably done for as n news
paper correspondent. The two news
papers naturally did not much agree.
The paper which had first sent Stanley
out probably had n kin of grudge that
somebody else had appreciated him.
There are some newspapers in this world
where you are just us unsafe by being
magnificent as by being II failure -

WINTER NOTES.
Common Occurrences in and About
the City.
Matters of Minor Importance
Hastily Gathered.

Services were held in all the churches
last evening.
The county commissioners will meet
again on or about Jan. 80, 1887.
The storm started in yesterday similar
to that Of the great storm and blizzard of
April 1878.
Weather like that of last evening is
pretty hard on the firemen when they are
called out.
The fire department turned out very
promptly last evening, Notwithstanding
the bad weather.
By the indications OF the weather, this
vicinity looks as if it was booked tor one
of the old time billiards.
The warehouse on West Nineteenth
street, being managed by Mr.. Frank
Dana, was totally destroyed by fire last
evening.
There have been a number of counter-
felt coins-dollars, half dollars and quar-
tiers, detected in town lately. Some one
is evidently flooding this section.
The editor of this paper acknowledges
the receipt Of an invitation to a sociable
to be given by the Old Mems club
OF Rawlins. in that city tomorrow even
ing.
A trip over the Cheyenne & Northern
affords much gunine pleasure, the track
being very smooth, and a trip through a
country where a road has Just been laid is
quite II novelty.
The 18th Infantry Comedy club will
give their first entertainment in their new
quarters in the post theater at Fort Rus
sell, Jan. IL, 1887. Hereafter entertain
ments will be frequently given.
Chas. G. Green, the negro who was ar
rested for the killing Off colored barber
named Nickens. in Denver last Sunday
night, has made a confession, in which he
acknowledges the commission OF the
crime, but claims that it wal done in self
defense. 1t is said that there is much
evidence otherwise, showing that the kill
ing was a cold-blooded murder.
The government of the city of Cheyenne
has never been more economically admin
istered than during Mayor Reels admin
istration when a Democratic majority
controlled the city council. While the
city's affairs have been duly attended to
and all the various improvements owned
by the city have been guarded and pro-
tected, no extravaganza has been shown
and no Indebtedness has been incurred
that was not necessary and required by
the taxpayers. One of the necessary ex-
penditures was that for the fire depart
ment, and that was approved by Il vast
majority of our people. The SIN is in
error in charging the expense for various
sewers to the city expenditures. The
sewers are contracted at the petition of
property owners, and the cost of the'same is
paid by the latter whose property is BEN
Gifted by the improvement. The city
does not pay a cent of the expense.
